Chapter 63 Write a letter of severance
Hou Yuanji has recited the Heart Purification Mantra three times.
But, he was obviously still drooling over the hot pot that looked so spicy.
Hou Yuanji turned his head away.
"What a joke! What a joke!"
"I'm the legitimate son of the Hou family! I drink ginseng soup every day and eat abalone for every meal!"
"How could I possibly be attracted by such crude food?"
The autumn wind blew the yellow leaves towards Hou Yuanji.
It chilled him to the bone.
Hou Yuanji gathered his sleeves, but still couldn't feel any warmth in his body.
Xuan Qi's words came over at the right time: "Madam, your ingredients are so delicious even when cooked with vegetables, it's absolutely amazing!"
Hou Yuanji even wanted to strangle him to death.
It was because he was so noisy and praised the hot pot to the heavens.
This made Hou Yuanji, who was already eager to make a move, completely unable to sit still.
As Hou Yuanji walked towards their position, he cursed inwardly: "Even eating can't stop your mouth from swallowing. Be careful, or you'll become as fat as a pig and unable to lift a sword!"
“Ahem!”
Embarrassed Hou Yuanji coughed behind Lu Wanyin: "That..."
Lu Wanyin glared at him: "Didn't you see that others were eating? Why did you come over here to cough? If you feel itchy, just say it!"
Hou Yuanji gritted his teeth.
I can bear it!
He walked to Lu Wanyin, keeping a safe distance from her.
Hou Yuanji finally managed a smile: "You have prepared so much food, one more pair of chopsticks for me should be enough."
Lu Wanyin dipped her food in the sauce and said, "That's enough."
Hou Yuanji broke into a brilliant smile.
But he saw Lu Wanyin stuffing a large mouthful of meat into his mouth, and said vaguely: "But there is no need. Our relationship is not good enough to eat for free."
After he finished speaking, Xie Jingci and his guards all smiled with their eyes curved.
Hou Yuanji's heart choked.
Countless words that couldn't be dirtier were running through my mind.
For a moment, he wanted to walk away.
But those two pots of hotpot were strangely more attractive than the top dish in Yihongyuan, and kept haunting him.
He couldn't move his eyes away, and he couldn't even lift his legs.
Hou Yuanji smiled and said, "What request?"
Lu Wanyin raised her eyebrows: "Oh, that's the way!"
In response to this, Hou Yuanji only wanted to reply with two words - hehe.
He didn't know how many times she had made such a request. If he still didn't understand her tricks, he must be an idiot.
Lu Wanyin said with some regret: "I want money, but you seem to owe me a lot. I'm a little worried that you won't be able to pay it back."
Isn't this looking down on people?
Hou Yuanji was furious: "What a joke! I am the eldest son of the Hou family. From now on, the entire Hou family will belong to me..."
"So, you plan to ruin the Hou family in advance."
Lu Wanyin's light words immediately silenced Hou Yuanji.
If things continue like this, it won't be long before he ruins the Hou family.
Hou Yuanji tried hard to maintain his dignity and refused to lower his head: "As long as you let me eat hot pot, I don't want the shop you gave me before."
Exchange a shop that makes a fortune for a hot pot meal
Lu Wanyin didn't know what Hou Yuanji was thinking.
But it doesn’t matter.
She earned it anyway.
Lu Wanyin nodded: "Okay, find it yourself..."
She didn't even have time to utter the four words "take a seat".
Hou Yuanji was already holding a bowl and chopsticks, and pushed Xuan Qi, who was eating happily, aside.
He picked up a piece of beef, boiled the meat and dipped it in sauce.
eat!
"Sah! So spicy! So good!"
"What's this"
Hou Yuanji looked at the beef brisket which looked like a rag and couldn't really tell what it was.
Never mind, Lu Wanyin ate it, so it must be delicious!
Thinking of this, he put the beef tripe into the pot.
After stirring it up and down, put it directly into your mouth.
He ate as if he had been hungry for three days and three nights.
The process of blanching the food was so skillful that it didn’t seem like it was the first time.
Just now, when Lu Wanyin and others were eating, he silently memorized the entire process.
He even memorized the different types of meat and how long they should be blanched.
Further away, the Xie family members saw Hou Yuanji going to enjoy the food and gradually became restless.
They knew best that Lu Wanyin had no dowry at all.
That so-called shop was used to deceive Hou Yuanji.
Zhou stuffed the black steamed bun into her arms and got up from the ground.
Just as he was about to walk towards Xie Jingci and others, he was stopped by the bailiff.
She was helpless and could only shout across the air: "Jingci, this black flour steamed bun is harder than a rock. Not only does it not satisfy my hunger, but it also makes my stomach ache."
"Please be kind and give me some hot food!"
Xie Jingci didn't even turn his head and said to Hou Yuanji: "Don't you think it's noisy?"
Hou Yuanji was so focused on grabbing food that he couldn't possibly listen to Zhou's nonsense.
He didn't even bother to pay attention to Xie Jingci.
The next moment, he heard Lu Wanyin's cold words, "It's quite noisy."
He immediately protected the bowl and yelled in the direction of the Xie family: "If anyone dares to make a noise again, I'll pull out his tongue!"
Obviously, he didn't even know who had offended Xie Jingci.
He doesn't care either.
After saying that, he continued to eat heartily.
Zhou fell to the ground and trembled all over.
Xie Ziqian came over to rub her back and whispered to her: "You're used to eating black-faced steamed buns. They're not that bad. You..."
There were tears in Zhou's eyes and her tone was sad and miserable.
"Jingci, I remember last year, as soon as I heard the news that you were going to return triumphantly, I personally went to buy all the furniture and furnishings and decorate the yard for you."
"I was worried you wouldn't like it, so I spent a long time carefully selecting everything. Just for the drapery alone, I had to consider your favorite colors and materials, and whether it would match the furniture... It was definitely a complicated process."
"It's difficult to be a stepmother. I think about how you've been away from home for so many years and how much you've suffered, so I'd rather tire myself out than let you live comfortably."
Lu Wanyin ate the cow brain and pricked up her ears.
Zhou felt that the hard approach was not working and decided to try the soft approach.
She looked at Xie Jingci quietly.
Is moral kidnapping possible?
A man like this satisfies her in everything, so don't do anything stupid all of a sudden.
Compared to verbal disputes between women, Xie Jingci prefers to take direct action.
But when he noticed Lu Wanyin looking at him, he knew what he should say.
Please don't let Madam misunderstand.
Xie Jingci retorted with a cold face: "You did more than that. You even invited a Taoist priest to come to my house and set up a feng shui formation that would surely kill me."
Zhou's voice stopped abruptly.
Xuan Qi, who had been unable to bear it any longer, put down his bowl and chopsticks heavily, with murderous intent all over his body.
"If the general hadn't wanted to see the old lady upset, I would have torn you locusts into pieces!"
Lu Wanyin didn't expect that the Xie family had done such a thing, and her face turned cold.
The reason why she hadn't killed the Zhou family before was because of Xie Jingci.
The emperor is now trying his best to find out what wrongs Xie Jingci has committed. Once the charges are handed over to him, exile will be turned into death penalty, which will be troublesome.
With her and Xie Jingci's current abilities, they are not strong enough to rebel.
But now, she suddenly didn't want to wait anymore.
Hou Yuanji, who was eating voraciously, shivered when the temperature around him suddenly dropped.
He raised his head and saw that Lu Wanyin's face was colder than ever before.
The guards who had been fighting with him for food before all put down their chopsticks and stared at the direction of the Xie family with eager eyes.
Hou Yuanji chewed the cow throat carefully.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the bowl, ate and turned to look at the Xie family.
Well, at least they were sitting at the same table, so he and Lu Wanyin maintained the same attitude, right?
Lu Wanyin opened her lips slightly and said, "It just so happens that neither of you really wants to acknowledge this marriage. Why not write a letter of severance?"
